How to repair a plane?

[Brzoziak304]

My plane is almost 50% used, so I need to fix it. I have a workshop next to the airport terminal, but it's not marking the terminal in yellow, so when I queue the plane to be fixed, nothing happens. What should I do? Cheers!

Airplane parking, not a terminal. I think this was described in the new part of in-game tutorial, chapter about maintenance.

Nope, that's not it. Can't fix it from the parking.

you can see how the proximity of the airport to the repair station allows for aircraft repairs....

ensure that you have the appropriate materials.

I have same issue - all my planes need repair - repair station have all materials and its within range. Still nothing happens.
All other vehicles and trains are doing fine .
TBH I see no clue on attached picture (previous post). Maybe some more help?

If you mean that my posted screenshot offers you no clue as to your problem, then post more information different to what can be interpreted from it, in terms of your own setup - with screenshots.
A visual indication, screenshot, of how to place the repair station within proximity to an airport, showing, in that repair station, an aircraft being repaired, should be a good example that the process can work.
The OP has not replied if that helped or not.

Provided that you have set the repair levels to a reasonable amount before they start then, understanding you can "tick box" the other requirements, shown in the screenshot, and you have a manned repair station with workers, then it should work. If not send your saved game to the Devs on their support page. You might have noted a bug that occurs in some circumstances.

You could post back firstly with your own screenshots indicating your setup, to see if there is anything that could be noticed as a problem.
Don't forget to note at the levels you have set for the planes to repair at and show planes that exceed that level not being repaired.

Well - Maybe you can point me where is the problem.
I left one plane on terminal and second on parking to check if this make any difference

Yup, I see what is going one there.......

Unless the Devs have changed anything, doubtful. in regards to aircraft and ship repairs. Note this excludes helicopters.
I have far more experience of this with ships than aircraft, but I believe the same principle could well apply.

In your screenshot the planes are looking for a recognisable repair station. You don't have one. They will continue to "search for repair station".

In my screenshot I have a recognisable repair station. That is due to the repair station being in proximity to the airport the planes are landing at as part of their route.
This, caveats noted, also applies to ships.

So my aircraft will repair as shown in the screenshot as they visit the airport to collect workers, in my case. So the association between aircraft repairs and a repair station is that a repair station has to be attached to an airport designated to be part of the route visited by the aircraft.
Other aircraft do not use it.
Ships are the same, helicopters behave differently.

That is why I showed to the OP in my initial screenshot the association with the repair station and the airport being used. I would not have even considered making such a setup as you did having experience of ships failing to repair, always searching for a repair station.

Does that help...?

For me it helped @Vimes, thx

Hi am just sitting here having the same issue and found the solution... build a repaire station that touches the hangar or parking where you have your plane just build it and the plane will appear in queue. tell me if it worked

[Delle(DK)]

i think taymourtabet is correct. Build the repair station next to the plane parking so it touch it. It work the same way with other things in the game like train depot, tram depot, ect.
Maybe consider to build a plane parking and a helicopter H next to each other and then make the repair building touch both.
